Alice's Restaurant - Guitar Lessonby Arlo Guthrie

As we approach the holiday season, we are thrilled to bring out a classic American tale; Alice's Restaurant by Arlo Guthrie. This is an example of a ragtime fingerpicking progression acting as the background for a long story. This style of talking blues is frequently credited to Arlo's dad, Woody Guthrie. The lesson goes over a slightly simplified arrangement as well as one that addresses more complex ornamentation and variation.
